GUEST,Joy Some Autoharp Questions (39) RE: Some Autoharp Questions 22 Aug 11

I was cleaning out my grandparents garage and found this musical instrument that I think is an autoharp or zither? It has room for 15 strings but is missing 4 of them. The markings I found say "Phonoharp" Pat Aug 4 1891. I also found 6 old music sheets that have directions ond say "Extra Sheets 5 cts" The songs are
1. Old Oaken Bucket
2. Nearer My God to Thee
3. Coming Thro' the Rye
4. Bring Back My Bonnie To Me
5. Auld Lang Syne
6. Home Sweet Home

I don't recall my grandparents or parents ever playing this instrument. It may be something my dad picked up antique shopping. I would like to get this to someone who would use and appreciate it for a fair price. I do not know where to start. Any help would be appreciated.
